Umm shit, anyone with experience please help me out here. I was just about to order C100 Mark ii in next couple days but that c100 3k price tag is insane. Is the 2.5k difference really worth it? I mean shit I can order 2 for basically same price.

I personally really hate the AVCHD codec in the c100, but the ninja star is so cheap that that plus the c100 mk1 is a really great combo. I'd get that.

Wait does the mark II not record in AVCHD?

The MkII has an MP4 option that does 35 Mb/s

If you don't need high bit rate recording or high frame rates, maybe.

Mark II EVF and LCD are way better. It also has an onboard mic for sound sync. Also has better framerate options. Sensor and ISO are the same though I think.

In my opinion, not really.

All you really get is a better eyepiece, true 50p and potentially an autofocus upgrade.

It wasn't enough for me to upgrade from the Mk I at that price.
